Hi All

First post, please be gentle

My girlfriend wants a laptop as the title says for photoshop. She has a copy of CS3 from when at uni. This is not just for basic touch up but will involve more extensive work (lost on me) but little or no 3D work.

My question is what is the most important component to consider, would it be the processor; Intel, AMD, cache, intergrated or dedicated graphics, and would ATI or Nvidia make a difference, and DDR2 or DDR3 memory? I spend my time on desktops so am a bit out of touch with laptop specs.

Budget is limted around £600. The Acer Aspire 5739G (on amazon/laptopsdirect) looks good for the price, but is it worth spending a bit more for an i7 Dell.

Your thoughts are very welcome
